Plot:
What would you do if the one you loved was actually not the one you loved? What would you do if your best friend was in love with the one you love? What would you do if you knew your best friends are sacrificing their love for you?

Meet Raj (Hrithik Roshan), Pooja (Rani Mukherji) and Tina (Kareena Kapoor) - three best friends thrown into situations that time, letters, love and separation have created for them.

A friendship that starts off in the picturesque, hilly town of Shimla and ends or rather continues in London. Much like Raj, Pooja and Tina, traditional in their values, yet modern in their approach and outlook to life.

Friendship, the beginning of every relationship, ends in love. And love, well, it can only have two endings - a happy and a sad one - or can there be a third ending for these three friends?

MUJHSE DOSTI KAROGE! Is a story of three friends who truly know the meaning of the word 'Dosti'!

MUJHSE DOSTI KAROGE! has music by Rahul Sharma, lyrics by (late) Anand Bakshi, cinematography by Gopal Shah, choreography by Ahmed Khan and art direction by Sharmishtha Roy.

This time around I really liked the movie. The last time I said that I liked the first half, but not the second as I felt that Hrithik Roshan's character was too much of a jerk there. Even though I still feel a little like that, I can see why he would be like that. And he even comes to realize it himself at the end and apologizes.
I enjoyed all of the songs in this one. There is even a medley sung which includes 18 famous Bollywood songs. I even recognized a few.
I also grow to like Kareena Kapoor as an actress.

Rush Hour , a review by Dragonfire

Rush Hour My Thoughts I decided that I was in the mood to watch this one again.  I first saw it in the theater when it originally came out and I've watched it several times since then.  I've also enjoyed the sequels, though I think this one is the best.  The plot is entertaining and interesting even though it isn't that complicated.  Much of what happens isn't the most original, but I don't mind the predictability since things are interesting.  There is a decent amount of action to what is going on, a lot of it provided by Jackie Chan and the different fights he ends up in.  The fight scenes are done well and look really good.  There is a good amount of humor to what is happening as well.  The characters are interesting and entertaining.  I do like Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker together, though Tucker can get a bit annoying at times.  I definitely like Chan more. There are a lot of extras on the DVD.  There is a long featurette on the making of the movie that is very interesting and covers all sorts of things tied to the making of the movie.  It even shows Chan working out a stunt sequence. Overall, this is a well done, entertaining action comedy that is worth seeing. I got a review posted on Epinions a few years ago. Rush Hour

The One Where It All Began: The Pilot Marathon, a review by DJ Doena

What's the show about?
The Conners are a working-class family with three children: Becky, Darlene and their son DJ. Dan is a construction worker and mechanic and Roseanne works at first in a factory but later opens her own diner "The Lunch Box". This sitcom follows the life of that family and those close to it.

"Life and Stuff"
A typical day in the Conner household. Dan tries to get a new job as construction worker but when this fails he helps his buddies working on a truck engine. Roseanne has to leave work early to go school and discuss Darlene's problems with her history teacher.

My Opinion
I always liked this show because like Married ... with Children they broke with the usual "happy family sitcom" routine. In addition the problems the Conners had over the years felt somewhat real and weren't always resolved at the end of the episode.

PS: Guess who was a regular guest star in the first season, many years before ER or Ocean's Eleven? Him:
